Strengthening Global Citizenship Through the Internalization of Islamic Thought on Tolerance and Pluralism at MTs Wali Songo Ngabar

Abstract

This community service article aims to instill values of tolerance and pluralism based on Islamic thought in the students of MTs Wali Songo Ngabar through an educational and participatory approach. The activities were conducted through a series of workshops, thematic discussions, and simulations of learning based on inclusive Islamic values such as ta'āruf, tasāmuḥ, and 'adālah, sourced from the Qur'an and the thoughts of moderate Islamic figures. The implementation method involves a collaborative approach between lecturers, teachers, and students with an emphasis on reflecting values and civic practices. The results of the community service show an increase in students' understanding of the importance of interfaith tolerance and their willingness to build harmonious social relations within the school environment. In addition, this activity strengthens contextual Islamic literacy that is relevant to the challenges of diversity in the global era. This program is expected to become a model for Islamic character education that can develop students' profiles to be religious, open-minded, and peace-loving.
